\n Acting Squadron Leader Gilbert CAMPBELL, D.F.C.(46638), R.A.F., 226 Sqn.<\/em><\/span>
\n Squadron Leader Campbell has completed many sorties against a variety of targets by day and night. In August, 1944, he was detailed for an operation against a ferry at Duclair. Despite heavy anti-aircraft fire the attack was pressed home with good results. Shortly after the bombs had fallen the aircraft was struck. It immediately became almost uncontrollable and height was lost rapidly. Petrol poured from the pierced tanks and the starboard engine caught fire. The situation seemed hopeless. Coolly and skilfully, however, Squadron Leader Campbell effected a crash-landing. As the aircraft touched down it burst into flames. All the: crew, with the exception of the top gunner had got clear. Without hesitation, Squadron Leader Campbell entered the wreckage in order to release his comrade. Unfortunately he had succumbed. This brave pilot displayed conduct in keeping with the best traditions of the Royal Air Force.<\/em><\/span>
